Geography

Germany — Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Cologne, Stuttgart + 50 cities

Data Coverage

Property listings, prices, rental yields, energy certificates, location analytics, agent data

Actowiz Solutions built a real-estate data aggregation pipeline for a German PropTech startup — combining ImmobilienScout24, Immowelt, and Immonet listings into a unified investor-grade dataset covering buy and rental inventory across Germany's major cities.

Client Overview

The client is a Munich-based PropTech startup serving German property investors and renters with an AI-powered property analysis platform. Their underwriting depended on continuous, multi-source listing data — including prices, rental yields, energy certificates (Energieausweis), and location-level analytics.

ImmobilienScout24 dominates German property search, with Immowelt and Immonet providing complementary coverage. Triangulating all three is essential for completeness.

Business Challenges

Anti-Bot Defences

ImmobilienScout24 uses meaningful anti-bot protection — basic scrapers fail within hours.

Listing Deduplication

Same property often listed across multiple portals by different agents with varied photos and descriptions.

Energy Certificate Parsing

German listings include Energieausweis data (energy efficiency class); this affected value and required structured parsing.

Kaltmiete vs Warmmiete Complexity

German rentals distinguish base rent (Kaltmiete) and total rent including utilities (Warmmiete) — yield calculation required handling both.

Project Objectives

The client partnered with Actowiz Solutions to:

Aggregate ImmobilienScout24, Immowelt & Immonet listings across German cities
Deduplicate listings via German address normalisation
Parse Energieausweis (energy certificate) data
Compute rental yields handling Kaltmiete/Warmmiete distinction
Deliver investor-grade structured data via REST API

Actowiz Solutions Approach

Multi-Portal German Crawl Stack

Dedicated crawlers per portal with Germany-region residential proxies, browser automation, and adaptive throttling sustaining 91%+ success rates.

German Address Normalisation

Built a normalisation engine for German addresses (Straße, PLZ, Ort) achieving 97% cross-portal deduplication accuracy.

Energieausweis Parser

Structured parsing of energy certificate data — energy class, consumption values, heating type — directly affecting investment valuations.

Yield Calculation Engine

Computed gross and net rental yields handling the Kaltmiete/Warmmiete distinction and German service-charge conventions.

Investor REST API

Sub-second query response, location-based search, and webhook alerts for new listings matching investor criteria.
